Made a left turn, Stabilitrak alarm went off then steering got stiff for a few. Parked the truck lest than 30 secs later and shut it off. Restarted it and it was totally dead. 10 secs later I heard a click and all my gauges went up and down slightly then the truck restarted fine..........except for this window message I keep getting everytime I start the truck. I've put the window down then up, I've put all the windows down then up, still have alarm. Disconnected negative battery cable for 30 mins, still have alarm.

 I have already done both G218 grounds and the one behind the right cylinder head about 3 months ago and all was good until this happened. 

Any ideas of what to do next before the expensive trip to the dealer ?

BTW battery was replaced last year and redid both ground wires from the negative battery cable to the back of the engine and the frame also.

Thanks everyone !!

Mine does this every time my ground is removed. I think it’s just a default. Make sure your battery ground is tight.

Your new battery might be bad, I would get it checked out to be safe.

 

This is the usual warning that shows up after you change, or the battery is going bad.

Yes, I was going to recheck the frame ground after the winter season. My battery terminals are both tight but I think I am going to remove and clean both of them and retighten.

I did get the message to go away:

I tried the window lock button on the driver's door. Then restarted the truck. The window message went away and then for a split second a " Service Stabilitrak" message came up then went away and everything is clear now. So that's what I was thinking was something isn't making a good connection somewhere.

 

I'll have the battery checked out as well and see what goes from there.

Update:

Battery checked out ok.

--Took both battery connectors off, cleaned both posts and connectors, applied dielectric grease to both.

--Took all wires off on top of the battery and scuffed all connections with emery cloth then dielectric grease to all.

--Removed frame ground cleaned terminal and frame with die grinder pad and applied dielectric compound to both.

 

So far, no issues. If I have any I will post it here.

Thanks to everyone's posts for advice.

Ok, so the weather turns cold, problem returns again. Complete shuts downs while driving making turns to a parasitic drain on MY NEW BATTERY. Going to the dealer Monday, not going to be stranded along the road at night. Meanwhile , I carry a spare battery incase I need a jump. Disconnect negative cable every night and charge battery. Lock doors only one push on the fob, no theft deterrent activated when stopping at stores.

 

I stopped at a hardware store, shut the truck off and I knew it wouldn't start, and it didn't. I smacked the frame ground with my trailer hitch and shut my hood, then the power came back on.

So now I think, could it be the negative cable not being crimped right ? A new replacement cable with same part # is not the same cable. It is shorter and has the wrong eyelets on the ends.  Is it something else ? I dunno and am tired of fixing a truck with only 42000 on it. The dealer can have the problem now. Update to follow after.

Went to the dealer today. Diagnostics found many low voltage messages. Mechanic found a voltage drop between the positive (short) battery cable from the battery to the terminal it connects to. Part is about 60 bucks, had to order. Gmpartsdirect list this part as #6 but is not listed to be able to buy it. Must have to get it at a dealership only. The mechanic told me they have replaced many of these. I'll post the part # when I get it tomorrow if it comes.

$79 diagnostic fee, total of $250 to install ! I'll do it myself.

I have a 2015 Silverado 2500HD...

 

I'm getting that same message on my screen (Action Required Open Then Close Drivers Window)...except neither window on the drivers side will go down, and the radio won't shut off after I pull out the key.

 

I've been having trouble with the 'Door Ajar' alarm on the back door drivers side and I'd jiggle the wire harness on the back door and it would make it go off...plus when this would happen the electric door locks quit working until I jiggled that wire harness.

 

However, just before the windows quit, the 'Door Ajar' warning went off for both drives side doors and I couldn't get them to go off...then suddenly they did, and this is when this window alarm started going off.

 

Anyone have any ideas about this issue?

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
